Full job description

About The Role

We’re looking for an Accounts Payable Assistant to join our Finance team. This role is central to the smooth running of our Accounts Payable function, ensuring supplier invoices, employee expenses, and finance transactions are processed accurately, efficiently, and in line with organisational policies and compliance requirements.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working with financial processes, systems, and administration, and who takes pride in accuracy and attention to detail. You'll play an important part in helping ensure suppliers, employees, and partners receive a high-quality service from Finance whilst maintaining strong financial controls.

The work is varied and detail-focused. From processing invoices and expense claims to supporting reconciliations, managing queries, and assisting with month-end activities, you'll be involved in the day-to-day operational backbone of the Finance team.

This role suits someone who enjoys working behind the scenes, improving processes, solving problems, and making sure the detail is right.

Accounts Payable & Finance Processing

You'll support the full Accounts Payable process, from managing incoming invoices through to payment runs. You'll help ensure financial transactions are processed accurately, recorded correctly, and supported by appropriate documentation.

Your responsibilities will include:

Processing supplier invoices, employee expenses, company card transactions, and partner cost claims
Verifying documentation and compliance with relevant policies and procedures
Supporting the setup and maintenance of supplier records
Coding transactions accurately within finance systems
Managing supplier and employee queries
Supporting payment processing activities and maintaining accurate financial records

Reconciliations & Month-End Support

You'll contribute to the accuracy and completeness of financial records through reconciliations and month-end support activities. Attention to detail and a proactive approach will be important as you help ensure financial information is available and up to date.

This includes supporting supplier statement reconciliations, monitoring outstanding transactions, assisting with month-end close activities, and helping ensure key invoices are processed in a timely manner. You'll also support travel and expense reconciliations where required.

Stakeholder Support & Service Delivery

A key part of the role is providing support to colleagues across the organisation. You'll work with employees, suppliers, and partners to answer queries, provide guidance on finance processes, and ensure requests are handled efficiently and professionally.

You'll also support shared finance inbox management, maintain accurate records, and contribute to the smooth day-to-day running of the Accounts Payable function.

Organisation & Delivery

This is a role where organisation and attention to detail are critical. You'll manage multiple priorities, maintain accurate records, support audit activities, and ensure Finance processes continue to operate effectively.

Success in this role comes from being methodical, reliable, and committed to delivering accurate work whilst providing excellent service to internal and external stakeholders.

About You

We're open to candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. You may not have worked in a role exactly like this before, but you should be able to demonstrate many of the skills, experience and capabilities needed to succeed.

You'll likely have experience working within an administrative, finance support, bookkeeping, accounts payable, or finance operations environment. You enjoy working with detail, take pride in accuracy, and understand the importance of maintaining reliable processes and records.

You may be a good fit if you:

Have experience processing invoices, expenses, payments, or financial transactions
Are highly organised and comfortable managing multiple priorities
Enjoy working with systems, processes, and detailed information
Have strong attention to detail and naturally identify errors or inconsistencies
Communicate confidently and professionally with colleagues and suppliers
Take ownership of your work and follow tasks through to completion

You'll also be someone who is proactive, collaborative, and enjoys contributing to a supportive team environment. A positive attitude and willingness to learn will help you succeed in this role.

Experience That Could Be Beneficial

The following experience would be beneficial, although none are essential:

Experience using Sage or similar accounting systems
Exposure to Accounts Payable, Purchase Ledger, expenses, or invoice processing
Experience performing reconciliations or supporting month-end activities
Familiarity with VAT, finance processes, or financial controls
Strong Excel skills and confidence working with data
Experience working in an international or complex organisational environment

We recognise that people build experience in different ways and don't expect candidates to meet every point listed above. If your background aligns with many of these areas and you're excited by the opportunity, we'd love to hear from you.

Working Arrangements

We have adopted a flexible-hybrid model which means employees work flexibly between a remote and office environment. Weekly visits to the office are required for most employees to support our values, collaborative culture and ability to deliver great work together.

For this role, we anticipate that you will initially be required in the office 4–5 days per week for approximately six months whilst building knowledge and confidence across the role. Following this period, we anticipate attendance reducing to a minimum of 3 days per week, subject to business requirements.

Application Process

Our selection process is straightforward and respectful of your time, typically including:

An initial call with a recruiter
An interview with the hiring manager
A final interview
